Contains the processor (CPU and battery-backedCMOS RAM memory), a
power supply, and16 I/O circuits. It is available in four versions
to meet
various application requirements. Peripheral devices:
EEPROM Memory Module - Plugs into the processor unit
for
program loading and storage.
Pocket Programmer - Connect the programmerto the processor-unit to
program, monitor, edit, and troubleshoot. The nine operating modes
selected withthe programmer:
1: Clear Memory
2: Program
3: Run
4: Test-Single Scan
5: Test-Continuous Scan
6: Store Program in EEPROM
7: Load Program from EEPROM
8: EnteriChange Access Code
9: DiagnosticTest-Programmer
Personal Computer Software- Allows you to use
an IBM or IBMcompatible personal computer in place
of the pocket programmer. With
the software,you can select functions equivalent to the modes defined
above. Additional capabilities: off-line programming and program
library development; ladder diagram display and enhancements; data
display and cross reference table generation; program print-out. An
RS232-CIRS-422 interface converter is required
for communication between
the processor and computer.
Timer CounterAccess Terminal (TCAT)- Allows production, supervisory, and maintenance
people tomonitor programmed timer, counter,
and sequencer data
"on-line". Connected by cable to the processor
unit.
I/O Expansion Units - There are threeSLC 100 I/O expansion unitsthe basic expansion unit, the relay output expansion unit, and the analog
input expansion unit. These units can
be interconnected with the
processor unit to expand the number and type
of I/O circuits. You can also
connect theSLC 150 I/O expansion unit to the
SLC 100 processor unit.
The maximum numberof I/O circuits is112.

The following features are pointed out in the illustration on 3.Page
1. Incoming line wiring terminals. Self-lifting pressure plates allow for
easy wire insertion and secure connections. Terminals accept
two #14
AWG wires. A hingedcover is provided (but not illustrated). The cover
needn’t be removed to gain access to the terminals.
2. Wiring terminalsfor 10 inputs. Same constructiona s line terminals.
The hinged cover (not illustrated) has write-on areas for identification
of external circuits. Cover is color-coded to identify the circuit voltage
level. The cover needn’t be removed to gain access to the terminals.
3. Wiring terminalsfor 6 outputs. Same constructionas line terminals.
Hinged cover (not illustrated) has write-on areas to identify external
circuits. The coverneedn’t be removed to gain access
to the terminals.
The processor unit has relay (hard contact) output circuits.
4. Five LED diagnostic indicators:
DC POWER (green) - Indicates that the processor unit is energized
and DC power is being supplied.
PC RUN (green) - Indicates the processor unit is in the Run
mode.
CPU FAULT (red) - Indicates the processor has detected
an error in
either the CPU or memory. Operation is automatically stopped.
BATTERY LOW (red) - A batteryprovides back-up powerfor the
CMOS RAM memory. This LED alerts you when the battery voltage
level has fallen
below a threshold level.
FORCED I/O (amber) - Indicates that one or more input or output
addresses have been
forced to an ON or OFF state.
5 . Input power fuse (behind front cover).

present but theDC POWER LED is not lit, the fuse may blown.
be
Refer tothe User’s Manualfor fuse replacement procedure.
6. Input status indicators. Ten red LEDs, identified with address
numbers 1 thru 10, corresponding to numbers1 thru 10 on the input
device wiring terminals. Whenan input circuit is energized, the
corresponding status indicator will
be lit.
7. Output status indicators. Six red LEDs, identified with address
numbers 11 thru 16, corresponding to numbers 11 thru 16 on the
output contact wiring terminals. When a programmed output
instruction is TRUE, the corresponding output status indicator
will be
lit, and the corresponding output contact
will close.
8. Auto/Manual switch. This switch controls restarting
of the processor
unit after power
a
loss,brown-out, or correction
of a CPU fault.
Auto - On power-up, the processor runs thru its normal diagnostic tests
and then automatically enters the Run
mode (ifit was in the Run
mode
at the last
power-down).
Manual - On power-up, the processor runs thru its diagnostic tests but
will not enter the Runmode. To enter the Run mode,you must move
the switchto the autoposition or use thepocket programmer (or
personal computer).

module can be plugged into the processor. The pocket programmer or
personal computer software allows
you tostore your processorRAM
program in the EEPROM.You can also loada program from the
EEPROM into theDrocessor RAM.
We recommend that you install an EEPROM memory
module. This will provide maximum protection against user
program loss or program alteration due to battery back-up drain,
processor malfunction, or excessive noise.
10. Communication port. Thepocket programmer, interface converter, or
TCAT cableis plugged into this socket.
11. Expansion unit connection. The expansion unit cable is plugged in
.
this socket. SLC 100 and SLC 150 expansion units can be interconnected to increase the
I/O capacity of the controller.
12. Battery compartment. Back-up power for the CMOS RAM is
provided by a replaceable battery assembly, accessible from the front
of the processor unit. The lithium battery provides back-up
power for
approx. 2-3 years. Battery replacement: See the User’s Manual.

The enclosure should be adequate (NEMA approved) for the
environmental conditionsof the particular application.
The processor unit, expansion units, and inputloutput device circuits
should havethe samepower source. Theprocessor and expansion units
should be properly grounded.
Include a n electrical disconnect in the enclosure. An isolation
transformer may alsobe required.
A master control relay circuit should be included to permit disabling
of
the I10 devices independentof the processor and expansion unit power
circuit. One or more emergency-stop switches should also be included.
Follow recommendations for component spacing within the enclosure,
to help keepthe controller temperature within the specified limits.
Wiring should be routed to minimize electrical noise effects. Surge
suppressors should beused forinductive loads in series with hard
contacts and for other noise-generating equipment.

SLC 100 input circuitry is current sinking, compatible with current
sourcing (PNP) input devices. Circuitryincludesopticalisolationand
surge suppression to guard against damage
by transients from user input
devices.
A direct interface to solid state sensing devices and
SLC 100 controller
output circuitsis possible because of the 2 mA OFF state leakage current
specification, indicatedin thefollowing table. Note that the
2 mA value
applies only to inputs 1and 2 in someunits. You can achievea 2 mA
current valuefor inputs 3 thru 10by adding a resistor, as indicated.

Output Wiring
Connections
Wiring connections for output devices are shown below. Note that the
diagram shows the internally-connected output contacts and parallelRC
networks. The RC networks guard against possible damageby transients
from external output devices.
External connectionsare shown for outputs11,15, and 16. We’ve added a
suppressor in parallel with two
of the external devices
for the purposeof
contact protection. Contact protectionis discussed on Page8.
Since the output contacts are isolated from each other, each output circuit
can be wired independently, with own
its ground return. You can applya
different voltage in each output circuit, as your application might require.
Power or ground wires can be jumpered betweenof sets
terminals if
desired.
You should provide appropriate fusing to protect the output devices and
wiring from short circuits and overload conditions.

Output Contact
Protection
Inductive output devices suchas motor starters andsolenoids may
require thatyou use some type of surge suppression to protect the output
contacts. Examples are shownbelow.
These surge suppression circuits are connected directly across the output
can
device. The effect is to reduce arcingof the output contacts (arcing be
voltage which occurs whenan inductive
caused by the high transient
device is switched offp.
Suitable surge suppression methods for inductive
AC output devices
include a varistor, anRC network, and an Allen-Bradley surge
suppressor. These components must be appropriately rated to suppress
the switching transient characteristic
of the particular inductive device.
For inductive DC output devices,a diode is suitable.A 1N4004 diode is
acceptable for most applications. A surge suppressor can also
be used
(refer to the User’s Manual).
We recommend that you locate the suppression deviceas close as possible
to the outputdevice.
Suppressors recommended for use with Allen-Bradley relays, contactors,
and motor starters are listed in the User’s Manual.
